garbage is a strong term.

Most may be optimised for a small ( smart phone sized) screen, so the designers have made decisions to improve readability on a screen that is way smaller than an actual paperback book, where honoring the original CSS could indeed give "garbage" experience.

whereas the kindle developers know that amazon only sells 6 or 7 inch kindles so they can make an app that looks good on those, and not worry about how it might look on 3 inch, or 13 inch...

same goes for Marvin. Ipads come in a limited number of sizes, so an apple only reader does not have to support thousands of possible device variants and 6 or more main OS releases

if you run those small screen android (phone) apps on a 10+ inch tablet, than the "optimisation" may not suit

, which is why apps like moon reader have lots and lots of tweakable settings so you get the experience you want on your screen.

NB that's my end user opinion, go bother a developer or write your own if you don't like whats on offer.

I am happy with all of Kindle for android, Moon reader pro , Libby( for overdrive books). I'd use any of those rather than have to read an actual paper book.
